The biggest problem with .NET Core imo is that .NET just seems to be permanently uncool, despite how good it is. Maybe one day this industry will be less fashion driven...

Yeah, but not everyone is a hype-train riding, super-cool hipster intent on switches languages every 6 months as some kind of fashion statement.
They aren't, but there's still a lot of irrational hate for anything even remotely associated with Microsoft, even amongst people who aren't chasing the hype. I can't really think of any other major general purpose platform that has this kind of PR problem.
I'd love to use it, but being Windows only for years was a non-starter for me.
.NET core is cross platform. It is also far more performant than traditional .NET. The new framework is a huge leap forward.
C / C++ is too, frameworks are for the lazy
Really wish everyone was as hard working as you.
This? Hard working? Psh. If you're not using a magnetic needle and a steady hand you're way too lazy for me.
